Thanks to President Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency policies, Africa is expected to ease its related regulations.
Chris Maurice, CEO of African cryptocurrency exchange Yellow Card Financial, stated in an interview with Bloomberg on the 24th, "Seeing the movements in the U.S., several African governments will accelerate securing regulatory clarity on cryptocurrencies." He added, "By next year, there will be comprehensive regulatory changes across the African continent."
In Africa, the instability of national currencies is reportedly leading to increased use of cryptocurrencies. However, most African countries still lack adequate legal frameworks. Bloomberg noted, "In most African countries, cryptocurrency trading remains illegal," and "central banks are closely monitoring cryptocurrency transactions due to concerns over potential capital outflows."
Maurice emphasized that the atmosphere has changed rapidly since President Trump's election last year. Maurice said, "The cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly in ways that seemed impossible just a few months ago," and "there is increasing contact from major financial institutions, such as banks, that previously did not want to engage with us." He added, "Over the past two years, the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies across the African continent has significantly improved," and "the 'Trump effect' will accelerate these changes."
